Simplify `TypeFreshener` methods. #150239

nnethercote · 2025-12-22T06:24:05Z

freshen_{ty,const} take a Result and just do a fold if the input is Ok. It's simpler to do those folds at the call site, and only call freshen_{ty,const} in the Err case. That way we can also avoid useless fold operations on the results of new_{int,uint,float}.

Also, make some bug! calls more concise.

`freshen_{ty,const}` take a `Result` and just do a fold if the input is `Ok`. It's simpler to do those folds at the call site, and only call `freshen_{ty,const}` in the `Err` case. That way we can also avoid useless fold operations on the results of `new_{int,uint,float}`. Also, make some `bug!` calls more concise.

I have always found this confusingly named, because it creates a new freshener rather than returning an existing one. We can remove it and just use `TypeFreshener::new()` at the two call sites, avoiding this confusion.

r=me, but would love for u to look into a related refactor

Sometimes we freshen using a new `TypeFreshener`, and sometimes we freshen with an existing `TypeFreshener`. For the former we have the method `InferCtxt::freshen`. For the latter we just call `fold_with`. This asymmetry has been confusing to me. This commit removes `InferCtxt::freshen` so that all the freshening sites consistently use `fold_with` and it's obvious if each one is using a new or existing `TypeFreshener`.

Because `fresh_trait_pred` is the name of the field/argument. The `_ref` suffix appears to be a typo, or left over from earlier versions of the code.

It never happens in practice.

compiler/rustc_infer/src/infer/freshen.rs

    #[inline(never)]
-    fn fold_infer_ty(&mut self, v: ty::InferTy) -> Option<Ty<'tcx>> {
-        match v {
+    fn fold_infer_ty(&mut self, ty: ty::InferTy) -> Option<Ty<'tcx>> {


now always returns Some?

Yes! I have added a commit to remove the Option.

It's no longer needed.

Thanks for the suggestions, this has ended up much nicer than the first version.

@bors try @rust-timer queue

freshening should be at least somewhat hot?

nnethercote · 2025-12-23T10:05:52Z

Freshening is definitely hot, but freshening of inference variables is much less so. Local measurements indicated that the perf effects were negligible, but it doesn't hurt to double check.

Because `fresh_trait_pred` is the name of the field/argument. The `_ref` suffix appears to be a typo, or left over from earlier versions of the code.

Disallow freshening an already-freshened type/const.
